TMNT - The Angels Take New York Chapter 1

You can run. You can hide. You can travel at light-speed. You can fly... but... never do just one thing - Don't... blink.

-------------------

Destination: New York City, Earth, Dimension 3

Year: 2012

"Impossible!!! Absolutely scientifically impossible! I just can't process how did this even happen. No law in science can explain how something so absurd can actually happen." Donatello was saying while holding his head with both hands in anger, amazement and confussion.

"Donnie. None of us have a clue of who did it or how it happened. The police are on the case at the moment, as we speak. Besides, you don't need science for absolutely everything. There are things even you have a hard time handling." Leonardo tried to calm down Don.

"Okay, Leo. How do you explain a 93 meter tall and 450'000 pound heavy statue move from Liberty Island and all the way to Winter Quay? We're talking about miles here, Leo. Not to mention the water that surrounds the island. And what's even weirder is that there were no vitnesses, who saw how the statue was moved. JUST HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?!!!" Donnie yelled at Leo.

"Hey! Wasn't it mentioned that you can move buldings from one place to another now?" Raphael asked.

"There are. But moving an entire statue as big as the Statue of Liberty is a very complicated task. Not to mention illegal. You can't just come to New York, pick a tall structure you like, see that somehow you don't like its position and decide to move it from one place to another - FOR JUST 24 HOURS! It's like trying to prove that you can actually 'build Rome in a day'. Whoever did it is got to be someone with a big brain, very strategically accurate when it comes to structures, mathematically accurate, an architect, an engineer, have the approval of the Ministery and the President for moving it legally. Not to mention that a structure that big can be moved with very powerful instruments, capable of moving any kind of regular building out there, without breaking or split it in pieces. No such technology exists, yet. Or not in our world, at least." Donnie got up from his chair and left the kitchen, hardly ate anything, and went straight towards his lab.

"I just can't believe that something that big can actually be moved just like that. And then on the next day... it's on Liberty Island again. Just how? How and who can do something so... big as this." Donnie thought to himself.

Back in the kitchen.

"But why would Donnie care anyway. It's not like he built the Statue of Liberty or something." Michelangelo asked his two brothers.

"Because Mikey, it's not like you can move a statue like the Statue of Liberty anytime and anywhere you want. Plus who would let you even put a finger on it. The statue is our culture." Raph explained to Mikey.

"Not true. Once I sat up on Lady Liberty's crown. So you can touch it whenever you want, right?" Mikey said, putting two thumbsups up. Raph on the other hand facepalmed from Mikey's silly remark.

"Maybe Krang did it. It was them, right?" Mikey asked, hoping to receive a positive response.

"Hardly. Why would they take a giant statue, put it miles far away and then put it back on the place from where it was taken like on some giant chessboard?" Leo explained.

"Maybe they think there was going to be a giant heavy rain, Krang thought it was too dangerous to leave the Statue of Liberty in the ocean, because it might break and moved it where it's safe. And after that when the rain was over, they put it back again. Yeah, baby! I'm so smart." Mikey cheered, while Leo and Raph both facepalmed.

"Great, genius! Except one rain can't make a giant island sink. And with Krang? It just doesn't make any sense." Raph exclaimed.

"Oh, have you been up that night?" Mikey asked Raph.

"No!" Raph said directly.

"Then how do you know, huh? Rains can happen any day. Like earthquakes." Mikey said, making Raph a bit angry.

"Yeah, except they can't make Liberty Island sink, numbskull. And it doesn't break that easy. It's not made out of paper and glue." Raph pointed out.

"Oh." Mikey said.

Meanwhile...

"That's cool, Red. So what up for us today?.... Red?" Casey asked April. April was just starring like she was in some kind of a trance. "Hey! Earth to Red. Wake up!" Casey flipped his hands in front of April's face.

"Huh?" April gave Casey a confused glare.

"You okey, Red. You looked like you tuned off to somewhere, leaving me here talking to myself." Casey explained.

"Sorry, it's just that... I feel something strange.. like we're being watched or something." April told her situation.

"Oh, yeah! Just look around you and tell me what you see? No one's watching us. It's just you and me and the people walking around us. They don't even care about you. And even less to stare." Casey tried to calm April down.

"No, not human stare, but rather something else, but I just can't put my finger on what it is. And for the past two weeks, I've been having dreams of a mutant turtle." April told Casey.

"Oh. You mean Donatello?" Casey asked, feeling a bit unsure and hoping it's not the purple-masked turtle.

"No. The turtle seemed a girl. She was young, had long hair and wore clothes. She looked sad. I tried to help her, but closer I was getting to her, the more she fades. She also looked scared, afraid to say a word. Probably thought me as a threat." April explained.

And just then when they passed near a statue, it seemed as if for a second there the statue was starring at Casey and April and after a blink, the statue wasn't there anymore.
